Some MS city/county gun bans are illegal

Vicksburg, Louisville, McComb and who-knows-what-other-MS-city have passed ordinances banning guns on all city property at all times. I believe these ordinances are illegal. They over-step MS state law.

MS law says:

"...no unit of local

government may adopt an ordinance that restricts the possession,

transportation, sale, transfer, or ownership of firearms or ammunition or their components."

MS State Law: (1.f.) http://www.mscode.com/free/sta....

Cities/counties in MS CAN ONLY regulate firearms only in the following situations:

(f) To regulate the carrying of a firearm at: (i) a public park or at a

public MEETING of a county, municipality or other governmental body;

(ii) a political rally, parade or official political meeting; or (iii) a

nonfirearm-related school, college or professional athletic event. MS

Code 45-9-53
